DHARMA & GREG {DHARMA AND GREG}: AND THE IN-LAWS MEET ... (TV)

Summary

One in this comedy series about two unlikely soulmates: Dharma, a yoga instructor who was raised by hippies, and her husband Greg, an assistant U.S. attorney for the Justice Department. Dharma and Greg decide to celebrate their elopement by restaging their wedding ceremony for friends and family members. Although Kitty dislikes the boorish ways of her new daughter-in-law, Dharma ingratiates herself with her mother-in-law. Upon the urging of her country-club friends, Kitty becomes the unwitting host of a wedding reception at the club, much to the chagrin of Dharma's father, Larry, who disdains the "fascist" place. In an escalating tit-for-tat battle, the snobby Montgomerys and the flighty Finklesteins pressure Dharma and Greg to choose between such divergent nuptial traditions as an orchestra or a gong ceremony, tuxedos or daShikis, and veal entrees or a macrobiotic buffet. A raging argument ensues when the in-laws finally meet face-to-face. Tired of juggling their parents' traditional and bohemian values, Greg and Dharma assert their veto power and find a compromise. But the difference in lifestyles ultimately leads to an argument between the newlyweds. Includes commercials.
